I have some postal stamps with no price,dating back a year or so how do I find out the amount of the stamp?

- Bring them in to the post office or see if the postal service has the stamps on their web site.
- If there is no amount these are the 'anytime' stamps ... you can use them even with the newest raise in the cost of postage. They are good for the 'first class' stamp on an envelope of #10 (business) size or smaller.
- What's the picture on the stamp? Do they say "Forever"? If they don't say "Forever", they could be the basic stamp they used when the prices first changed (41ยข I think).
- I just took mine down to the post office for the info. (I've tried looking online before without success.) Add: Just because there's no writing doesn't mean it's a "forever" stamp. Several times over the past years they have issued stamps without amounts on them.
- If they're UK stamps then it doesn't matter what you paid for them. A 1st Class stamp remains valid as does a second class. Any other stamps in the UK will have the price on them still.
- That's very simple. The US Postal Service buys those back from you for the correct amount or exchanges them with new stamps. That was part of Bush's Stamp-Exchange-Law that he got through congress last year. Hey, he achieved something. Or are those the Recalled USPS Stamps? They are worth a lot! Good Luck!
- Send your self a concrete block in the post and whatever they say you owe, subtract it from the total and............ otherwise see how many cans of Stella Sainsburys will give you in exchange, OR................toss them in the bin and buy new stamps !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Take them to the postal service they will be able to tell you.
- In the past, when postal rates were going to change, the postal service went to congress to ask for the OK. Since the USPS didn't know how much of an increase congress would allow, first class stamps without denominations were printed. These stamps, unused, still have the value of whatever the increase was during the year they were printed. If you have the forever stamp it is worth 41 cents today, and when the rate changes on Sunday, it will be worth 42 cents.
- The site below shows pictures of the U.S. stamps that don't have printed prices on them, and tells what their value is.
